I've updated Fluppy 02 to 003, by using unetbootin to install the iso on a usb stick, then using (installed) Puppy 431 to delete vmlinuz, initrd, and the two sfs files from the hard drive and copy the new ones from the usb stick.

Reboot into Fluppy, and it all worked. My Canon printer drivers are still ok (not Gutenprint, the real thing), Firefox is still working, complete with bookmarks. Wireless connected by itself. And I'm still signed in to the forum. It's great. EXCEPT- no icons! Should there be some? All I have are the drive icons along the bottom.

A talking cow/lobster is an essential tool for the terminally sane
and may help those with limited vision
(for example my imaginary psychiatrist
who has less sense than a 5 year old
- who all know cows talk)

I've been messing around some more and as usually happens with puppies would like to make some changes for me personally. There's a lot of software in the menu that I know I will never use, which I'd like to remove, and then remaster. Do you have that file that installs the list of all the packages that are there so they can be removed? I think barry usually makes a pet called 0pkgs_db-xx or something like that.
Thanks again for making this puppy, finally get to dump Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

Hi Jemimah
In your first post, can you please tell me what the .iso size is? ..also could you make a (maybe 5-6 screenshots) slideshow of your puppy with picassaweb or flickr or somesuch?
(with picassaweb -start the slidshow and 'grab' the url quickly)

But what we need is a talking cow
- the png could even be swapped for a Puppy
Now that is the way to handle hints, tips and help . . .

The ROX in Fluppy is patched to remove the annoying panel auto-hide feature that doesn't work if your panels have stuff in them and allow the corner buttons to work nicely in Flwm.
[...]

Upon second reading, a light-bulb lit over my head!

So ROX would have
1) an "annoying panel auto-hide feature"
2) "that doesn't work if your panels have stuff in them"

Kindly explain...

In other words, does this mean that ROX has by default hidden panels that "unhide" when you put stuff in them? And I thought my brain was ok.

Almost got stuck in flwm (hehe), until I followed your tracks back to /etc/wm, and placed "openbox-session" there. My fault, I tried to introduce good old wmx in Fluppy. And now I've put your wm chooser out of commission

So you're not using the usual Puppy .xinitrc, eh?
Second question: how do I integrate another wm than the three you suggest ?

I'm not criticizing -- you really did a fabulous job with Fluppy. I like it a lot.
It's just me being curious, and trying to get back to my old groove!
